I just took a quiz that said I am most like J.D. Salinger when it comes to my writing personality. So....I say humanity is doomed but I don't care as long as I get to hang out locked up in my house forever. Outside world = stressful. Inside house world = Roseanne Reruns and endless Diet Coke.

I finally have a question! Well, a two-part question. Mash-ups are gaining popularity now. Taking a Jane Austen novel and adding zombies, for example. How does that exactly work for the authors who do the mash-up? Are they contracted or can anyone do a mash-up of their own?

My name is Eric, and I work in the sales department of a publishing house. There are a lot of blogs out there that cover the agenting and editorial aspects of book publishing, but here you'll find out what happens to your book after it's been acquired.

On Fridays, recovering publishing insider Laura writes round-ups. She also posts over on Combreviations.
